BBC Sherlock - Season 3 "The Empty Hearse" premeries in the UK on Jan 01 2014

The UK air date for “The Empty Hearse”, the first episode of Season 3 of  BBC Sherlock has been set for Jan 01 2014.

The second episode, “The Sign of Three” and the the third episode “His Last Vow” will be broadcast on Jan 05 and Jan 12 respectively. 

Benedict Cumberbatch is one of my favorite actors to play Sherlock Holmes and BBC Sherlock one of my favorite adaptations of Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary creation.

I am happy that the British get to savor this excellent show with the advent of the new year 2014.

The acclaimed show returns to the US on Jan 19 2014.

Mark Gatiss reveals the title of the first episode of Sherlock Season 3

The name of the first episode of Season 3 has been revealed by Mark Gatiss: "The Empty Hearse".

The name is a play on the original story The Adventure of the Empty House. In the Canon, this story follows The Final Problem. Holmes is back from his self-imposed exile after his confrontation with Professor Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls. He takes on Colonel Sebastian Moran, Moriarty's own Watson.

The ending episode of Season 2 "The Reichenbach Fall" was based on The Final Problem and it is a logical choice to start off the third season with an adaptation of The Empty House.

This announcement officially marks the beginning of Season 3 filming. I eagerly look forward to further developments and hope for an early announcement of the actual airing dates.
